Peyton List: “Blast From My Wimpy Past”

Jessie’sPeyton List was in Hoover, Alabama on Saturday (Nov 2) for a meet and greet at the Von Maur at Riverchase Galleria. Grayson Russell was also there. The two starred in two Diary of A Wimpy Kid films together.

In her interview with BYOUmagazine – the 15-year-old talked about what she thinks being “cool” is.

“Expressing yourself and being yourself every day, dressing the way you want to dress versus what is considered ‘cool.’ I remember a girl I thought dressed really cool and I was tempted to copy her but I decided to stay with my own style and was glad I did.”

Peyton added, “Being a genuinely nice person who doesn’t discriminate and is positive, kind, helpful, and pleasant to be around is also cool. If you’re a nice person and do good things to help others, people will want to be around you. A lot of kids think because of their age they cannot make a difference but they can. And it starts by smiling at someone to make their day.”
